Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Germany Hebson Makuvise is reportedly seeking asylum in that country. Makuvise was seconded by then Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change. Party spokesman Douglas Mwonzora said he was not aware that Makuvise, who is a close relative of Tsvangirai, was seeking asylum but said if he was, the decision was personal. This is the same view that the party took when Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Australia Jacqueline Zwambila, also from the MDC-T, announced that she was seeking asylum and would not return to Zimbabwe. Both ambassadors and 18 others were recalled after the end of their four-year-terms. They were due to return tomorrow. The MDC-T seconded four ambassadors while the MDC-N had one.
